The Scroll newspaper has been in print since 1905, when BYU-Idaho was known as the Ricks Academy, a locally run school with a newly-developed high school program. At the time this newspaper was known as the “Student Rays,” and was printed monthly. In 1933 the name of the newspaper changed to “The Purple Flash.” In 1937 the name was changed again to “Viking Flashes,” and in 1938 the name finally changed to “The Viking Scroll.” The paper continued under this name until 1972, when it changed to “The Scroll.” The Scroll is still in print at BYU-Idaho as its official newspaper.

was released last year which stated the schools position toward students who were illegally using drugs that policy is as valid now as it was then already this year some students have been suspended from school because they have either used marijuana or have been present where marijuana was being used in order to inform the student body of this existing policy the scroll is again printing the article in its entirety as originally released by mack shirley dean deanoff jofs t L ife recently a number of ricks college student have been dismissed from school and have faced severe court action for tor using marijuana these cases are of a tragic nature because of the heartache induced upon parents friends and students themselves often there has been a misunderstanding from those parties involved in that they expect second chances or school and court action of a more lenient nature than has been administered in order to clarify any misunderstanding and also to remind everyone of the ricks college code of honor to which all students are committed the following policy relating to the use of drugs is given 1 students found to be using drugs will be dismissed from school immediately there willbe will be no second chance and no period of probation the same policy will apply to any person having any part in supplying drugs or assisting others to use drugs in a recent study of drug users 84 stated that they had been introduced to drugs by their friends only 2 were introduced by a professional pusher since the drug habit spreads from friend to th friend we have a special obligation to use our best efforts to assure that no ricks student has a friend who is using drugs and could introduce him to the habit 2 we will not wait for the disposition of court proceedings before proceeding with student discipline in drug matters we will make our own investigation and will proceed with dispatch after conference with one of the deans of student life students who desire may take their case to the standards committee the judgments of the committee are final 3 the policy of dismissal on first offense might not apply to a person whose only contact with the drug was casual or brief and where the exposure has been decisively abandoned by a truly repentant tent individual before our disciplinary effort is initiated the rule in the doctrine and covenants is a sound rule in these matters as in others by this ye may know if a man teth of his sins behold he will confess them and forsake them 5 84 3 4 persons who have used drugs at any time and have already confessed and irrevocably forsaken the use of them have nothing to fear from this policy this policy is not seeking to reopen old wounds or to deny the principle of repentance what is said here is addressed to persons who are present or very recent users 5 we believe in repentance and we hope and pray that persons who are present or very recent users of drugs will repent and cleanse themselves of this awful practice and in time qualify themselves to return to ricks if they desire to do so but their tence and their demonstration of worthiness must take place elsewhere we must not have drug users at ricks college this policy is adopted from one given by pres dallin oakes at BYU in dec 1972 tickets getting scarce for carpenter shows bleacher tickets for the carpenter concert set for thursday are still available according to gary olsen entertainment series director the concert will begin at 7 and 9 pm in the john W hart auditorium the double showing was scheduled when the original one concert was sold out after three hours the mass number of students crowding the building on monday made it necessary to limit the sale of tickets to the second show to only a few at a time so that regular classes could function in that building according to olsen it has also become necessary to insist that no more than 20 tickets can be issued to one person this will eliminate the mass number of tickets sold to only one person and will also allow enough tickets for a family home evening group to attend concerts together the carpenters credit such top hits as close to you weve only just begun and hurting each other the two carpenters live at home with their parents in a split level house in downey a suburb of los angeles the design of the house was a family project we all worked on it together with the help of an interior decorator karen said A huddle prior to a performance is not uncommon for the two carpenters and their five backup back up men the group adopted the ritual when playing at a school gym because the setting was appropriate we just fell into a huddle just like the sports players do richard said almost another member of the carpenters is a 1969 road runner which
